Our two posts about the soundtrack for the early-millennium remake of Josie & The Pussycats received such a good response, we figured it'd be a good time to play compare and contrast with some songs attributed to the original Pussycats that were released in the early '70s. A tipster sent along two tracks from their oeuvre, the CD version of which is now out of print; the band, which was a collection of session musicians fronted by Cathy Dougher, Cherie "Cheryl Ladd" Moor, and Patrice Holloway, released an album and a series of 45-rpm singles that were available via mailorder from Kellogg's. We've been a fan of the conga-crazy "Road Runner" since our footie-pajama days, while our tipster pleaded for us to give the frothy "Letter To Mama" a shake because, as he put it, "There are not enough tunes out there encouraging small children to hitch-hike, in my opinion."

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hurrah! i think i'm going to use that as my official byline from now on, i.e., "...also in attendance were D. Ellot, local television personality and puppeteer, S. Carter, current president of Def Jam Recordings, and P. Drew, a tipster."
